APPARATUS FOR DISPENSING ,CAFiBONATED- BEVERAGES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 548,751, dated October 29, 1895. Application tiledAprl I2, 1895. Serial No. 5451509-- (N modem v .To all whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, ERVIN S. FERRY, aciti- Y zen of the- United States, residing at Mount Vernon, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Dispensing Carbonated Liquids; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My present invention relates to apparatus for dispensing soda-water and other carbonated liquids, and has especial reference to the construction of a. draft-faucet, whereby a measured quantity of liavoring solution is supplied to each bottle or glass of carbonated liquid.

The invention will be fully disclosed in the following specification and claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, Figure l represents a side elevation of my invention applied to a dispensing apparatus, the front and top of which are shown in section; Fig. 2,a vertical longitudinal section of part of the draft-faucet in closed position; Fig. 3, a like view of the same in position to discharge a carbonated liquid; Fig. 4, a transverse section on line 4 4, Fig. 2; and Fig. 5, a like view on line 5 5, Fig. 3.

Reference being had to the drawings and the letters thereon, A indicates the top, and B the front, of adispensing apparatus commonly used for dispensing soda-water and other carbonated liquids; 0,7the Havering-reservoir; D, the draft-faucet; E, the pipe communicating with the avoring-reservoir; F, the pipe for supplying carbonated liquid, and G the pipe for containing a measured quantity of a avoring solution.

The head of the faucet is provided with a transverse partition a, into which the pipes E and G are screwed from the rear side, and the front side forms a seat for the disk-valve H, and is providedwith a lug b at its lower end to support said valve H, with. a central opening for the pipe F to pass through, and with a discharge-port c, through which the flavoring solution passes to the nozzle d of the faucet.

The disk-valve His provided with a central opening e, through which the pipe F extends,

forms the axis of the valve, and projects be A yond the outer surface of the valve, as shown in Fig. 3, and with an elongated port f, which, when the valve is in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 4, communicates with the pipes E and G and with the pipe G and the port c when in the position shown `in Figs. 3 and 5.

The outer end of the discharge-pipe F is 6o controlled by a compression-valve I, operated by a screw-threaded stem g and handle h, and said valve is connected to the disk-valve H by studs or pins Il i, whereby the two valves are Yoperated synchronously, ,so that as the valve I is withdrawn from the end ot' pipe F to admit of the flow of carbonated liquid the disk-valve H is turned on its axis to cause the'port f'to register with the pipe G and with the port c in the partition a and cause the 7o fiavoring solution in pipe Gto flow down and mingle with the carbonated liquid in the nozzle d of the faucet D.

The disk-valve H is held to its seat on the partition a by a coiled spring lo, which surrounds the valve I.

The pipe G extends up to about the top or upper end of the reservoir C and is provided with a bulb Z of a capacity to hold the quantity of the Iiavoring solution required to iiavor 8o the carbonated liquid drawn to till a bottle, glass, or other vessel, and when the valve I is moved in upon and closes the end of the pipe F the disk-valveH is turned upon its axis by the valve I, so that the port f communicates with the pipes E and G and the tlavoring solution from the reservoir C iiows down pipe E into pipe G and supplies a charge for the next draft from the faucet.

It will be observed that the pipe G with its 9o bulb Z is always charged automatically with the Iiavoring solution so soon as one charge has been drawn and is ready to be supplied to thecarbonated liquid in measured quantity.

Having thus fully described what I claim isf 1. A dispensing faucet provided with a transverse partition having a port ltherein for the discharge of a flavoring solution, pipes roo connected to said partition for supplying the flavoring solution in measured quantity, a disk valve seated on the partition and provided with a passage throughfwhich said pipes my invention,

communicate and which registers with the port in the partition, and a pipe supplying carp bonated liquid, in combination With a valve controlling the latter pipe and connected to the disk valve.

2. Adispensing faucet provided with means for supplying a liavoring solution, a disk valve for controlling the discharge of said solution, and a pipe supplying carbonated liquid and extending through said disk-valve, in combination with a valve controlling the latter pipe and connected to the disk-valve.

3. A dispensing faucet provided with, a transverse partition, a valve for discharging a liavoring solution and a valve for controlling the discharge of carbonated liquid, in` combination with a reservoir for said flavoring solution, a pipe communicating with said l reservoir and a pipe separate from the rese'rg voir and communicating'with the formerpipe through a passage in the Valve which controls the discharge of the solution and said pipes connected to said partition.

4. A dispensing faucet provided with pipes for supplying a tlavoring solution and a port for discharging the same a transverse partition to which said pipes are connected, anda valve having an elongated passage to register alternately with both of said pipes and with one of said pipes and with said port, in combination Withapipefor supplying carbonated liquid, and a valve for controlling said pipe and connected to kthe former valve.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
